Grant Activity:
The Salt Substitute and Stroke Study (SSaSS): a large-scale cluster randomised controlled trial to assess whether sodium reduction, achieved through salt substitution, prevents stroke.
Purpose:
Excess dietary salt causes high blood pressure and high blood pressure is a major cause of stroke. It has been clearly showed that lowering blood pressure levels with drug therapies reduces stroke risk. Another way of lowering blood pressure without having to take drugs is to eat less salt, but whether this also prevents stroke is uncertain. The Salt Substitute and Stroke Study that involves 20,996 people followed for 5 years will answer this question.
